Re: [Plib-users] Compiling issues on MacOS X 10.5

An "unsigned int" is always available ... if it is called "unsigned
int".  But Windows doesn't have "stdint.h", at least not in its default
include path (I just tried it).

Certainly it seems silly, but unfortunately thanks to Windows it is
necessary.

i am not that familiar with plib.  having unsigned int type def'ed to 
uint if UL_WIN32 seems silly.   an unsigned int is always availiable, i 
dont see how that is dependent on the userland.

and if an exact int is need (32 bits, loose definition of int), then use

stdint.h, that has been added to the standard and avaliable for years.

#ifdef HAVE_STDINT_H  // assuming autoconf
   #include <stdint.h>
   typedef uint32_t uint
#endif
